4.0 out of 5 stars Good - within its breed, May 2, 2003

This review is from: DEWALT DW411K 2 Amp 1/4 Sheet Palm Grip Sander with Case (Tools & Hardware)

This is the third finishing sander I've owned (I got it free when I bought my compound miter saw) and of the three its the best in terms of sanding quality and noise. However, I'd go with a random orbit sander to get better quality.

My biggest complaint is that the dust attachment (DW4111) comes separately (and is not carried by very many suppliers, including Amazon). The dust bag that comes with their random orbit sander pulls apart and fits a standard 2 1/2 inch dust hose. Why couldn't they do that with this one?

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, fine finishes, August 18, 2000

This tool does a great job at what it is designed to do - finishing sanding. An excellent feature is that you can use any brand or type of paper. The dust collection bag keep things neat, my only complaint is that the bag is easy to knock off. Overall though, this tool is well balanced and very easy to handle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great, June 12, 2002

By	Just a guy in (Millbrae, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DW411K 2 Amp 1/4 Sheet Palm Grip Sander with Case (Tools & Hardware)

Just started using this sander and it works pretty well. The switch that everyone complains about is not a big problem once you realize that it is not a push button under the small rubber cover, but a little toggle switch. DELIBERATELY depressing the right side of the rubber cover always turned the sander on, and depressing the left side always turned it off. No problems with the sander turning itself on or off.

The dust collection bag, on the other hand, didn't collect much dust as some people claim, though it never fell off either, as others claim.

The sander was very comfortable to use and quickly gave a very smooth finish. This is what you are looking for in a palm sander, right?
